He grew yummy vegetables in the shape of meat so that he could be popular. Unlike the other dragons Pudge did not like meat because the dragons were being cruel to all the Oodles that were their livestock. Oodles are crazy sheep, cross bird cross cow livestock that the dragons eat. Pudge bred Oodles so that he would have lots of friends. A few days after a recent festival Pudge had moved into the mountains for more land for his Oodles. One day later some of the Oodles had disappeared from the farm. Pudge had no idea what had happened to them so the next day he set out to find them. The next day Pudge set out to find the Oodles and before he left he saw a dragon by the name of Crabin. Crabin was Dragon Land's biggest criminal. But then Pudge saw what Crabin was holding it was his Oodles. Pudge ran after because he was so chubby but then he flew until Crabin flew too high for him and then he just dropped out of the sky. When Pudge woke up he found himself in a den of another dragon but it wasn’t Crabin’s. It was another dragon that did not eat meat because there were no bones and there were heaps of vegetables and fruit. When Pudge walked around he saw that there was two dragons in there. He walked in and knocked on the wall and said: ‘Hello!’ to the other two dragons. They were quite scared at first and then when they introduced themselves and they got to be friends. The smaller one was named Annex and he had big round eyes and the taller one was named Bozo and he had a huge head and big feet. When Pudge told them about the story of Crabin and all the Oodles that he had taken, but once he had said that they took him just outside to show him Crabin’s cave. Afterwards Bozo and Annex told Pudge all about what had happened to their Oodles and then they decided they were going to get all of the Oodles back. Later when they were leaving Crabin turned up and blew them back into the cave so it would bide him some time to get away to steal more things. When Pudge and his friends had got to the cave they peeked in and when it was clear they searched everywhere until they saw the Oodles and all of the appliances with Crabin. But what was Crabin doing with the Oodles. He was cooking them food and being friendly to them. This was different a change in Crabin. They tip toed towards the Oodles and then Crabin turned around and their hearts beat as fast as ever. Then Crabin saw them what would he do but then he said: ‘Would you like a cupcake?’ This was amazing. He was being nice instead of being angry. Pudge walked up to him and asked: ‘Why did you steal these things?’ and then he said: ‘I am very poor and I need friends. I was like you with no friends apart from Oodles and then the drought came and all of the Oodles died. So I got lonely and I thought the only way of getting friends was to steal Oodles and appliances to make the Oodles happy!’ ‘The only way to get friends is to be yourself!’ said Pudge to Crabin. After a while Pudge and Crabin got to be friends and took him, Annex and Bozo to the town and then they all made friends unlike before when he didn’t have any friends. Then Dragon Land was free from robbers for eternity. |
